NECKTIE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 6, 1916.

Application filed July 24, 1916. Serial No. 41,720.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Invrne Lnwnv, a citizenof the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough ofManhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new andImproved Necktie, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

The invention relates to woven neckties, and its object is to provide anew and improved necktie which is highly ornamental and reinforced atthe front.

In order to accomplish the desired result use is made of a flat tubularbody and an ornamental reinforcing strip overlying the front of the saidbody and having its side edges integral with the said body front.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all theviews.

Figure 1 is a face view of the necktie; Fig. 2 is an enlarged crosssection of the same on the line :22 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a face viewof a modified form of the necktie.

The body A of the necktie is woven in tubular form, and on the frontofthe body is arranged an ornamental strip B having its sides turned underand its edges interwoven with the front of the body A. The strip Bextends preferably throughout the length of the body A and its sides arespaced from the sides of the body A thus providing a raised ornamentalstrip in the form ofabox-plait on the front of the body A and one whichincidentally reinforces the body A. It is understood that the body A isnarrowed throughout a portion between the ends, as plainly indicated inFig. 1, while the ornamental reinforcing strip B is preferably of thesame width throughout its length. As shown in Fig. 3, the strip B orshifting of the necktie when used on turndown collars.

In manufacturing the necktie, the body A and the strip B aresimultaneously woven. Both the strip B and the body A may be ornamentedby the use of differently colored yarns and woven according topredetermined designs.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

1. As an article of manufacture, a necktie having a flat tubular bodyand an ornamental longitudinally extending reinforcing strip of lesswidth than the body and overlying the front of the said body at thecenter thereof, said strip having its side edges integral with the saidbody front.

8. As an article of manufacture, a necktie having a flat tubular wovenbody, and i a woven strip overlying the front of the said bodythroughout the length thereof and with its sides spaced from the sidesof the body, the sides of the said strip being turned under andinterwoven along the edges with the said body front at each sid of thecenter thereof. I

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
